Samsung has apparently moved up the Galaxy S25 series' release date. The company had previously hinted that its next operating system update would be announced alongside its next flagship phones. And we now know just when that might be.
According to what's allegedly an online survey form for customers who might be interested in pre-ordering a new Samsung S series phone, the Galaxy S25 family will be announced on January 5, nearly two weeks earlier than the current generation, which was unveiled on January 17 this year.
If Samsung is indeed planning on announcing the Galaxy S25 series early next year, specs and design must have been locked in by now. That's why, the contents of the survey are quite interesting.

Samsung is dangling a 10 percent discount at people to complete the survey to learn the biggest grievances they have with their current Samsung devices, such as games getting stuck, interface being laggy, device overheating, unsatisfactory camera quality, and disappointing battery life and charging specs.
And since no tech conversation can be concluded these days without mentioning AI, the survey also asks participants about their wishlist for Galaxy AI, and options include Animoji and Memoji creation, notification summary, sharing multimedia experiences with friends, creating photos and videos from text, and recovering old photos.
While hardware specs cannot be changed this late in the development cycle, software-side changes can still be made. Samsung is probably putting the finishing touches on its Android 15-based One UI 7 skin and soliciting and incorporating feedback will help the company deliver on the wishes of would-be customers and ensure a spot for its new device on the best phones of the year list.
